LATEST DISPATCHES. POLITICAL. Massachusetts Prohibitionists Nominate Candidates. The State Convention of the Prohibitory party, held at Worcester, was the biggest delegate gathering ever held by the party in Massachusetts. It was composed of 857 delegates, representing 190 cities and towns. Its proceedings were animated from first to last by an intense bitterness against the Republican party. W. H. Earle, of Worcest , was nominated for Governor; Dr. John Blackmer, of Springfield, for Lieutenant Governor; Amos E. Hall, of Chelsea,for Secretary ot State; J.H.Kilborn, of Lee, for State Treasurer: E. M. Stowe, for Auditor; and Allen Coflin, of Nantucket, for Attorney General. The platform accuses the liquor men of bribing ' Legislatures and murdering its opponents; । declares against licensing and local options; insists on the necessity of a third ■ party; declares that the Democratic ! party makes no pretensions in the direction of prohibition, and that the Republican party does nothing else, and, in conclusion, it demands the immediate repeal of all license laws and the submission of a constitutional prohibition amendment to the people. William H. Earle, the candidate for Governor, is a Granger and a Sovereign of Industry, is a raiser of small fruits, and has been a dealer in agricultural tools and seeds. He is 56 years old, and a fluent talker. Greenback and Union Labor Convention. The State Convention of the Union Labor and Greenback party of Pennsylvania met at Williamsport. The Union Labor platform, adopted at Cincinnati last February, was unanimously adopted, as was also a resolution denouncing the alleged utter disregard by corporations of the State Constitution. Charles S. Keyser of Philadelphia was nominated for Supreme Court Judge and H. D. Bunker of Hollidaysburg for State Treasurer. COLLIDED ON A CURVF. A Fast Mail Train Overtakes and Crashes Into a Passenger Train Near Creston, lowa, with Fatal Results. A dispatch from Creston, lowa, says “the engine of a fast-mail train going west, which follows immediately after passenger No. 3 running in the same direction, crashed into the Pullman sleeper of the passenger train while running about twenty miles an hour, causing the instant death of an infant child and the serious injury of several people. The infant was with its mother, Mrs. Mosher, wife of Rev. A. E. Mosher, of Creston. Following are the victims: Mrs. Mosher, both legs broken, arms and breast scalded and head badly cut, no hope of recovery. B. Broughma and wife, Charlotte, Mich., both slightly cut and scalded. S. J. Gray, of Greenfield, lowa, a one-armed man, hand badly cut. K. C. Fullerton, of Chillicothe, Wis., back injured.

Smith, of Harrisonville, Mo., back and hip wrenched. Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Cook, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and two sons were on the train. Both sons are badly hurt. The youngest, aged 4 years, was scalded, it is feared fatally. ” CENTRAL AMERICA. General Uprising Feared in Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Late Panama advices report that a revolutionary force under Bahona surprised and took possession of Port La Union, । San Salvador. The garrison was betrayed by two of the officers. The fight between the revolutionists and the Government troops is reported to have been very severe. A general commotion is feared in Salvador. Guatemala, and Honduras. The National Game.

Ex-Gov. William Aiken, of South , Carolina, died at Flafßock, S. C., aged 81. File destroyed the costly machinery of the Barren Fork Coal Company, near Somerset, Ky., causing a loss of $109,000, Wind and rain storms of extraordinary violence swept portions of New York and Massachusetts, destroying crops and trees, unroofing houses, and blowing down barns, etc. A man at Worcester was dashed against a barrel and killed. Several persons were partially paralyzed by lightning. Hailstones of a great size fell at Saratoga. EAST. A New York dispatch announces the death of William Logan Harris, the New York resident Bishop of the Methodist Church. The Bishop was taken ill with heart trouble a month ago when in Liverpool. He sailed immediately for New York, and had been under medical care ever since. He died surrounded by his family. Deceased was born at Troy, Ohio, in 1817, Studied in Norwalk Seminary and wa^ admitted to the Michigan Conference in 1837. He has been a member of the Michigan, North Ohio, and Central Ohio Conferences. From 1848 to 1851 he was principal of the Baldwin Institute, Berea, Ohio, and from 1851 to 1860 was Professor of Chemistry and Natural History in the Ohio Wesleyan University. He was elected and ordained a Bishop in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1872. Bishop Harris was a prominent abolitionist, and took an active part in the movement preceding the late war. According to the schedules filed at New York, the liabilities of Henry S. Ives & Co. are $17,666,175; nominal assets, $25,664,268. Their equity amounts to $400,000. WEST. A most infamous attempt to wreck a train for the purpose of robbery is reported

from Lebanon, Ohio. As a train of eleven cars with 500 passengers was returning from a visit to the spectacle of “Rome Under Nero,” at Cincinnati, the engine encountered an obstruction made up of ties ' and fence-rails. By good fortune the train ! had stopped only a short distance before and let off some passengers, and had not obtained sufficient speed to be seriously injured when the obstruction was read cd. The passengers were shaken up, but no one was hurt. Two months ago the law-abiding people of Fairmount, Ind., used dynamite in blowing up a building intended to be used as a saloon. The owner erected another house, but the people on Thursday night tore it down, piling the material in the street. Governor Adams and General Crook reached an agreement at Meeker, says a Denver telegram, by which two companies of United States troops will be kept on the line .between the Uintah reservation and Colorado, for the protection of settlers and to keep the Utes out of the latter State. When the clerks of the Darke County, Ohio, Treasury entered the office Monday morning they found the doors of the money vaults standing open, and investigation showed that the vaults were empty. Over $30,000 are missing. Treasurer Simon was arrested, but gave bonds for his appearance when wanted in court. They have a gas well, just struck, in Alcona County, Michigan, which shoots flames a hundred feet above the derrick, and its roar is heard three miles. A Mt. Vernon (Ill.) special says: “A horrible accident happened at Dr. Bernard’s, about twelve miles south of this city. He was having his wheat threshed with a portal le engine and thresher, when the boiler suddenly exploded, and killed two men named J. H. Mitchell and William Bumpus, Jr. T. J. Williams had his skull badly fractured, and will probaby die. Thomas Bernard had his leg and arm injured, and Theodore Bumpus was badly scalded, but both will probably recover. Pieces of the engine, weighing fifty and one hundred pounds, were blown a distance of a hundred yards. Smaller pieces were blown half a mile.” A dispatch from St. Thomas, Dakota, says the threshing engine of Robert McAdams exploded, killing Frank Stephenson, of Winnipeg; fatally injuring Halvor B. Johnson, and tearing an arm from James McAdams. The engineer escaped with slight injuries. The trustee of E. L. Harper <t Co., of Cincinnati, reports an appraisement of the assets of the firm, according to which they are worth $103,202. The liabilities are $1,462,744, besides liabilities as indorsers to the amount of $1,692,073. WASHINGTON. The total coinage executed at the mints of the United States during the month of August was 9,282,000 pieces of the value of $3,303,300. Os this amount $60,000 was half-eagles, $2,710,000 silver, $195,000 dimes, and $78,300 minor coins. The total gold coinage was $60,000 and total silver $3,165,000. Mrs. Cleveland has declined the invitation of Mayor Hewitt and other officials of New York to deliver certain flags to the fire department of that city. She excuses herself by pleading unwillingness to assume that she, as the wife of the President, ought to participate so prominently in a public ceremony in which he takes no part. SOUTH. Flemingsburg (Ky.) dispatch: “Charles Coleman committed an assault on pretty Nettie Sweeney, a prosperous farmer’s daughter, near Clay Lick, Mason County. Coleman was brought here for safe keeping. Sunday morning 100 friends and relatives of Miss Sweeney, including her father and mother, arrived in this city, went directly to the jail, overpowered the jailer, and taking Coleman to the bridge in the rear of the Baptist Church hanged him to a cross-beam.” John Eastman, a colored teamster, attacked W. H. Coffman, a foreman at Brunswick, Tenn., and was subsequently i set upon by Coffman’s friends, riddled with bullets, and drowned in the river. Several arrests were made. Chattanooga, Tenn., is excited over the abduction of a 14-year-old girl named Lily Carter by Joe Hawkins, a well-known citizen. Jack Turner, leader of a Kentucky vendetta, has been killed. He had been a leader for twenty years, and numerous murders had been charged to him. Dick Buckalew, a Georgia outlaw, was shot and killed by a Sheriff’s posse near Rome. A San Antonio dispatch says that Bell Bros., the largest jewelers in Western Texas, have failed. The liabilities are about $30,000 and assets SIO,OOO. The principal creditors are in New York, St. Louis, New Orleans and Chicago. In the past year in Charleston, South Carolina, oyer 6,000 earthquake-wrecked buildings have been repaired or rebuilt, and 271 new buildings erected. The money expended in the work amounted to i $4,300,000. POLITICS. The lowa State Democratic Convention assembled at Des Moines on Thursday, the Ist inst., and made the following nom- ; inations: For Governor, Maj.T. J. Ander- ; son; Lieutenant Governor, J. M. Elder; Supreme Court Judge., Charles S. Fogg; ! Superintendent of Public Instruction, H. W. Sawyer. Following is a synopsis of the platform: It ‘‘commends the fidelity ot President Cleveland to the obligations ot his high trust, and congratulates the country upon tho economy, courage, honesty and patriotism of his administration;’’ approves the civil-service policy; commends the "efficiency of the Pension Department;'’ demands of Congress a remission of tariff laws in tho interest of equal taxation, and favors retaining its internal revenue taxes ; welcomes to our shores the liberty-loving people of all lands: approves the efforts of Gladstone and Parnell in behalf of the cause of Ireland; declares “the vigorous prosecution of faithless officials and those who have corrupted j them now being conducted by Democratic pros- ‘ ecuting officers in Now Yorn and Chicago a | hopeful sign of reform of public morals,” and i demands that tho same measure of justice visited upon bribery of local boards should be visited upon the defense when committed in State : and national legislatures ; favors the repeal of : the present prohibitory liquor law and the sub- ' stltution in its stead of a local option and care- j fully guarded license law, with a minimum license fee of 8500, for the better control of the liquor traffic. A Washington paper thinks it probable that a measure of tariff reform will be presented to Congress this winter, with the full support of the administration. “The President, the Secretary of the Treasury, and Speaker Carlisle,” the paper says, “have been considering the matter since Congress adjourned.” The substance of the two reports of the Civil-Service Commission concerning the : resignation of G. A. Webster, a clerk in the Chicago Custom House, is published. Webster was asked by the Collector to re- ‘ sign, and did so; but his case was taken up by the Chicago Civil-Service Reform i League, and upon its statement th • matter j was referred to the commission. The re- । port or opinion of Messrs. Oberly and ; Lyman strongly censures the action of the [ Collector in forcing Webster to r sign, i Mr. Edgerton, the other member of the ; commission, contends that the charges .1 made against the Collector were ■ “not of that substantial and deti- I nite character which could give the | commission any legal right to act upon the i complaint, or impose upon it any duty of | investigation.” With the Collector’s denial I that Websters resignation was demanded I

for political reasons, Mr. Edgerton says, ; “the investigation should have stopped, for ; there was nothing for the commission to do.” The Commissioner insists that the purpose of Webster in appealing to the League, and the Leagues purpose in taking up the case, was “to discredit a Democratic administration,” and he contends that the leagues and associations, “which are too essentially political in their character and purposes, should concede to the President and his party some honesty of purpose.” The Republican State Convention of Massachusetts is called to meet at Tremont Temple, Boston, September 28. The arrival in Washington of Congressmen Randall and Scott, of Pennsylvania, has given a fresh impulse to the talk of expected agreements among the Democratic, leaders on some method of tariff and revenue reformLABOR. The labor holiday was kept in Chicago on Monday, the chief feature of the celebration being tho grand procession. In the long line were representatives of the [ various unions, in tho following order: | Delegates to the Trades Assembly and the : Building Trades Council, the Horseshoers’ | Union, the Horse-nail Makers, the Iron- | molders’ Union, the Cigarmakers’ Inter- ! national, the Typographical Unions of 1 Chicago and tho town of Lake, | the Boxmakers’ Assembly, and the I Shoemakers’ Assemblies (Knigths of ' Labor), the Pullman Assemblies, the ! Plasterers’ Union, J the Bricklayers’ and Stonemasons’ Union, the Hodcarriers’ Union, the brickmakers, the Granite-Cutters’ Union, tho carpenters’ delegates, unions, and assemblies, tho plumbers, gasfitters, tin and sheet-iron workers, lathers, picture-frame workers, j glass bevelers, tho Phoenix Assembly, and the vessel-unloaders. Tho number of men in tho procession was estimated at 15,000. • About 40,000 people attended the picnic at Ogden’s Grove. The Socialists were conspicuous by their absence. GENERAL. The Distillers and Cattle-Feeders’ Trust, called tho Whisky Trust for short, is now thoroughly organized to restri ♦ production and advance prices. About $10,000,000 worth of distillery property is represented in the scheme. A New York dispatch says “there aro now several good reasons for believing that Jay Gould will acquire, within a very short time, not only the telegraph, but Mr. Mackay’s Commercial cable as well, and the thousands of miles of land lines that Mr. Mackay practically owns. Negotiations looking to a union between the Gould and Mackay interests have been in progress for some time. There is, therefore, every prospect that Mr. Mackay’s broad scheme of a big cable and telegraph competition in the interest of the general public will go the way of smaller and earlier enterprises.” The losses by fire in the United States and Canada during August were $8,317,500, against $13,000,000 for the same month last year. The visible supply of grain is reported as follows: Wheat, 30,687,129 bushels; corn, 6,836,850 bushels; oats, 4,734,085 bushels. FOREIGN. The Irish National League meeting at Ennis, Ireland, on Sunday, ended without the expected riot. Ten thousand people assembled, but tho hill at which the meeting was to be held was guarded, and the procession halted and speeches were made from carriages. A troop of hussars caused the crowd to return to Ennis, where an- j other speech was made. They were followed by the troops and police, and finally dispersed quietly. A theater took fire at Exeter, England, during a performance, and was almost totally destroyed. A London dispatch says : Tho fire started in the flies during tho fourth ' . act of tiio play. When the flames were discovered a drop scene was lowered to prevent the : ' current of air from increasing tho blaze. After this was done Hie actors and stage hands threw : open a door to make their escape when the ‘ , draft caused the flames to burst through to the I drop scene and ignite the woodwork of the gal- ; lery. The flames overtook the hindmost of tho ; unfortunate people, who were wedged in the , corridor and stairway, and literally roasted 1 them alive. There was no escape for them, tho ' ‘ fire being at their backs, and a compact ini- j movable mass of human beings in front. Tho ; firemen reached tho upper windows and took I out all of the people they could find, but most > ot them were dead, and many others died soon | after they were taken out. The surgeons in I tho hospitals revived a few persons who were 1 thought to be dead from suffocation, but by 4 ’ o’clock in the morning nearly a hundred corpses I laid in row’s on the floor, ana these did not com- I prise the total number of the dead, as a great many bodies were burned to ashes in the theater. Some of the dead were simply suffocated and not at all mutilated or burned. The occupants of the dress circle escaped without injury, the injured and dead being confined to the pit * and the upper circles. The building was destroyed. One hundred and thirty bodies are known to be inside or out ot the theater walls I thus far. Os these 100 were men and boys ana thirty women A score or more of the injured were taken to the hospital and a large number were taken to their homes. The French Government and press are pleased with the success of the experimental mobilization of an army corps. The opinion prevails, it is said, that if I France had been equally ready in 1870 ' there would have been no Sedan. Greenway, Smith & Greenway’s Bank, at Warwick, England, has failed. The bank was established a century ago, and had the highest reputation for soundness. MARKETREPORTS. NEW YORK. Cattle £4.00 @ 5.50 Hogs 5.50 kt 6.25 Wheat —No. 1 Whit© 84 OT .85 .

Why Some Lakes Are Salt. The cause of the saltness of some American lakes is too patent to require many words of explanation. It is probable that when the continent was raised from tho sea the lake-basins had been already formed, and came up therefore brimful of water. In tho northern and eastern parts of tho continent, where the supply from rain and snowfall exceeds tho loss by evaporation, the salt, being constantly carried away through their outlets, has become so diluted as to be an imperceptible quantity. In arid regions, as the Pacific slope and tho country about the Caspian, where the evaporation was in excess of the supply, tho water level of tho lake continuously sank until, on account of the deminished extent of the surface, the equilibrium of loss and gain was attained. Hence the exceeding saltness of Great Salt Lake, tho Dead Sea, etc. For a like reason the water of tho Mediterranen contains more salt relatively than that of the ocean. Evaporation exceeding the supplies from the rivers and rainfall, it requires a constant current through tho Strait of Gibraltar. Tho same is true of the Bed Sea, causing a like current through the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. Other salt of brackish lakes probably owe their saltness to the supply from the land. Water being the most general of all solvents, the rains gather up the chloride of sodium from the soils and the disintegrating rocks, and where tho streams fall into lakes whose only outlet is evaporation, the land itself must boa constant s uirco of saline supply, and their waters must become more and more salt, until their capacity as a solvent has been reached. The Utah basin must havo been filled to its brim with ocean water. The outlet has been evaporation. Tho lake receding to its present level, has left many evidences of its former extent.— 1 'opular Science Monthly. Negro Stories from Louisiana. An old negro woman was employed as cook iu the family of a Mr. Though a good servant in most respects, she had a propensity for petty thieving that was very annoying to her mistress. Mrs. S - often missed small quantities of tea, coffee, sugar, etc., but the cook always stoutly maintained her innocence when questioned, and in this sho was usually supported by Miss Florence S , a kind-hearted daughter of the family. One day Aunt Tikly (the cook) was charged with a more serious theft than usual. At first she seemed at a loss for a reply, but she suddenly burst out with: “I doan’ b’lieve I tuk dat ting—no, I doan’. But if Miss 1 law’nee done say I tuk it, den I b’lieve it. Miss Flaw’nee tell do truf; I b’lieve all what she say. Jus’ you ax Miss Flaw’nee, an’ if she say so. den 1 b’lieve it —no oder way, nohow ” Tho more uneducated negroes show a strange inability to understand what the simplest pictures even are intended to represt nt, ami their interpretations of more complex pictures are strangely ludicrous. In the family of Mr. 8 was a negro servant named Aunt Lucy. One day Miss Florence showed her a small picture < f Niagara Falls, and asked her what she thought it was. After holding the picture in everv possible position, Aunt Lucy finally said, “Dat sure am Miss Eva; it. eu^eam.” Mist? Eva was another daughter of tho lamilv. “Is it a good picture of her? ” asked Miss Florence. Hegarding the picture with a sage air, Aunt Lucy replied, “I tink it favor Alias Eva jus’ a bit.'' Negroes value preachers in proportion as they aro able to excite emotion in their hearers. A darky was questioned as to the respective merits of two colored preachers, or “ ’zortors,” which is short for "’exhorters.” His judgment was this: “Dey’s bole of 'em mighty ]>ow’ful ’zorters, but dat Bob Sheldon he's de best, kase he’s de mos’ touts." —I'Mitor’s I>raw>r, iu liarpel's Magazine. A Chiuese Complexion. When observed in one of the Caucasian race, is Indicative of bile in the blood. Who would bo yellow when he or she can exhibit the hue of health on check and brow through tho aid of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an antagonist at whose onset liver complaint takes refuge iu flight. Fur upon the tongue, nausea, sick headache, pains under the right ribs and shoulder blade, an unpleasantly odorous breath, are remediable with this benign alterative, which does not, like a potent cathartic, drench the intestines or, like tho mercurial preparations, contaminate tho blood. Not only the liver, but the stomach and bowels aro aroused, toned, and regulated by this fine family medicine, which has w on the confidence of the respectable classes, not by startling assertions on its behalf, but by the consistency of the claims made tor it wjth its performance in every in tanco when tested. A Boy's Idea of a Tlinnderstoi'iu. A little boy about four years old, living in a New Jersey town, ran to tuo window one evening lately during a heavy thunderstorm. As he looked out, long, glittering lines of forked, zigzag lightning ran across the black sky, then came a broad flash, lighting up all the west and northwest. “Oh, mamma, mamma!” sobbed the little fellow, “God’s house is all on fire! Will He be burned up in it?” A few moments after, hearing the rain pouring in torrents, he ran to her, crying, exultingly, “Mamma, mamma! God lias turned on His hose. Now- His house won’t burn up!”— Editor’s Drawer, in Harper’s Maqazlne. In Cuba a woman never loses her maiden name. After marriage she adds her husband’s name to her own. In being spoken of she is always called by her Christian and maiden names. To a stranger it is often quite a task to find out whose wife a woman is. Never hearing the wife called by her husband's name, one naturally does not associate them together. Tho children take tho names of both parents, but place the mother’s name after the father’s.

X • . ■ J l_ ——____ i_ 2L—_ ■ ' • The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription ns a remedy for those delicate diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to them by th6 use of this world-famed medicine.

BWMnwKnjHKstwnrasnnm John E. Segar, of MUlenbcck-, Va., writes: Ci? 11 “My wife had been suffering for two or three 8 sUfivv years with female weakness, and hail paid B v _ ... n out one hundred dollars to physicians withH IHRDWN fl WAY O,IC relief. She took Dr. Pierce's Favorite B ** Prescription and it did her more good than a n u ie mei js c j ne g,jve n to her by the physicians during the three years they had been practicing upon her.” Mrs. George Herger, of Westfield, N. I’., b Tur PnriTFOT I Tvrites: “I was a great sufferer from leucorb Int uilhaltol I rhea, bearing-down pains, and pain continf - n B ua l'y across my back. Three bottles of your I rfiRTHI Y nfinii i ‘Favorite Prescription’ restored me to perP ÜbUH.g sect hcalth< j trea te d ith n r . . for nine months, without receiving any benefit. The ‘ Favorite-Prescription ’ is the greatest earthly boon to us poor suffering women.”

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here or there, ana m this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busv doctor, separate and distinct dmetto* lor which ho prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all onlv »Wiptoni« caused bv® o ” 1 womb disorder, rhe physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his pra.+lee until large bills are made. The suneruw patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper memcinn hKe Dr. 1 icrces favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all w" distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

Mrs j, Morgan, of No. 71 Lexington St., 6^5 riIYSHiIANS I Mass., says: “Five years ago 1 By R was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles. HILED I exhausted the skill of three phy1 * *■ ,■!* stoians. I was completely discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended in his ‘Common Sense Medical Adviser.’ I commenced to improve at once, in three months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning bow my health had been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them, and enclosing a stamped-en-vclcpe for reply. I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described my case and the treatment used and have earnestly advised them to ‘do likewise.’ From a great ( many I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they imd commenced the use of ‘Favorite Prescription,’ had sent the 31.50 required fortlie ‘Medical Adviser,’ and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were much better already.”

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE.

The treatment of many thousands ~>f cases of those chronic weaknesses aud distressing ailments neculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicelv adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies. skr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested it in the more aggravated and obstinate cases which had battled their skill, prove it. to be the 1 most wonderful remedy ever devised for tho relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a “ cure-all,” but t as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. A« a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the uterus, or womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” “run-down.” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “ehop-girls.” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally. Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the great! est earthly boon, being unequalled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assimilation of food

As a soothing and strengthening' nervine,” Favorite Prescription” is unequalled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, exhaustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb.
